Re: GDC Portfolio Review Wrap Up
Thats what I mean in no.3. I had A LOT of people coming to me with a very specific style - when I see that, it tells me a) they can't do the job I would need them to and b) They probably wouldn't enjoy it anyway. Do what you want, imo, but just don't be surprised when a company that does something totally different than… -
Re: What is your texture workflow now?
What is mudbox doing differently than say, coat? Im really interested in this. Do you have time to elaborate how you are going about that? I usually used coat with the "more in cavities" option,for example. What makes PP so much faster than alternatives? Is it just because I havent mastered the masking options yet? Any… -
Re: Autodesk Maya 2016
The slow shutdown is something I noticed as well, and one thing I found that had a massive impact was the Autodesk Customer Involvement Program - CIP The issue is that the CIP invokes a TCP connection to the web during Mayas shutdown that does not time out quickly if there is no internet access, or you have a closed… -
Re: mirrored local space normalmaps
Thanks CB! Will pass this along to our rendering programmer. We're doing normalmapping on the Wii, pretty amazing it can actually do it since it doesn't use pixel shaders at all. We're leaning towards a mix of dot3 normal mapping and embm mapping, since embm can support both object and tangent maps. Of course tangent maps… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Thread(Spoilers)
Hey guess what guys... It's just a game not world history... :) Perhaps not the best ending or the ending you "wanted" but in the end it's not our game. It's not our baby or story or idea. It was our choose your own adventure book and anyone that has read those knows that no matter what option you pick you are going to get… -
Re: (WIP) [UE4] Environment -- Sanctuary Revisited (Image Heavy)
Thanks for the feedback. I completely agree about the texture/material. When I first started this I was trying to picture what a current gen BL2 would look like. I was picturing something more PBR heavy. I had read up on the Star Citizen stuff and thought it would be cool to interpret the BL2 world in that way. I thought… -
Re: Ambitious Project? Who`s in?
we are making a custom game for dota 2. that remains certain. it`s good to let everybody speak their mind at first. Some interesting ideas already surfaced. From what i see so far there are 3 ideas that have received positive attention: 1. a lore based co-op, which develops from each or some characters` lore, solo or in… -
[UE5 Environment WIP] World Door
It's been some time since I've posted here, so I thought it would be cool to share what I'm working on! This project has been super fun so far, I kept it pretty open ended design wise and just iterated as I went. I will say that the art from the Dark Souls series was a big motivator for this project as I really do love… -
Re: What are the mandatory skills to be an environment artist?
For me the standout areas that make a good environment artist is telling a story and how you capture that story through a camera. Modelling, texturing, lighting etc. are expected core foundations for an environment artist, some artists excel more in specific areas (take lighting for example) and sometimes end up pursuing a…
